info needed for growing zygos, please

I am fairly new to growing zygocacti so I don't know what they need. I know they don't seem to need a lot of water or good soil, as I have seen them surviving in almost-empty pots, and I have sucsessfully grown them from cuttings. Not always, but sometimes.
What I need to know is what conditions they like, how much water, and generally how to care for them. I have a big one outside where it doesn't get a lot of attention but probably gets watered more often than the one I have on the verandah, and it looks good, but the one on the verandah looks awful. I can't figure out what the problem is. Do they like the sun or not?

Hi Doona, Try WWW.rhipsalis.com which will give you lots of info on epiphytic plants. Cultivation needs are generally the same for rhipsalis and schlumberga (zygocactus) Regards Didge
